HindSight Is 20/20

Hindsight is Twenty/Twenty

This is an excerpt from my book, “Reading Between The Lines, The Hidden Power of Language“…

“This question represents a fundamental issue when you consider the laws of time as we currently accept them.  Time is actually very elusive.  Most of us live by our watches, phones and PDA’s, and these are all carefully kept in sync with the world clock, because that is what time has come to mean to us; a ticking clock.

Well, what else could it be?

The concept of time is not the same thing as a watch or a clock, which are instruments of measurement.  Actually, time has some very strange qualities from a physics point of view. 

According to the Theory of Relativity, there is no absolute time. 

Time is relative to you.  The theory of general relativity has several predictions, one of which is that time slows when you are near a massive object like Earth. 

Because of Earth’s gravitational field, light waves are slowed down, so for someone looking down from high up, it would appear that things were unfolding slower down here.

This idea is best represented in the example known as the Twins Paradox.

If you separate two twins at birth, and put one with a family living at sea level while the other lives with a family on a mountain top, the twin at sea level will age more slowly than the one living on the mountain top.  The amount of age difference would be very small in this instance, but the point is, we all experience time relatively, depending on where we are.

Yes, your feet are aging more slowly than your head!

Thus each person has his or her own personal measurement or experience of time passing, based on where they are in the physical universe and how they quickly they are moving.  You’ve seen examples of this concept in sci-fi stories and movies where people travel in space at the speed of light for a few years. 

When they return to Earth, they find that decades have passed in their absence.  That’s because they’ve escaped the gravitation which slows down the light energy.  I know it’s bizarre….that’s why it’s called a paradox.  Time is relevant to you.

Another bizarre aspect of time is the irreversible forward flow.  It seems that things only happen in one particular sequence.  People always get older, they don’t get younger.  Smoke always expands outward from its source, it never condenses into a smaller space.

These processes never happen in reverse.  Why?”
